NUITS-SAINT-GEORGES
Bertrand et Axelle
Machard De Gramont
Moving back from Paris in 2004 to take over from her father Bertrand, Axelle has taken the wines to the next level at Bertrand et Axelle Machard Gramont.
This beautiful, talented woman is the force behind her vines in Nuits-Saint-George and Vosne Romanée. Certified organic, her passionate approach to viticulture and wine making has made Axelle a trailblazer in Burgundy.
We are thrilled to offer her full range of wines from Aligote and Bourgogne Rouge to her single vineyard Nuits-Saint-Georges-George and Vosne Romanée. These are wines to drink, to share, to cellar and will impress even the most experienced palette, as the proof of her love is in every glass.
